TON Believers Fund raised 1.3 billion TON (~$2.8 billion)

As of today, TON Believers Fund has closed for new deposits.

Incredible achievements are created by community action and TON Believers Fund is a remarkable example of that.

Through a vision to bring predictability to Toncoin tokenomics, 1.3 billion TON or ~25% of the entire TON Supply has been locked in the Locker smart contract.

The result demonstrates the long-term commitment many contributors have to the Toncoin project. All participants have locked TON for two years, after which TON deposits will be vested monthly with rewards for a further three years.

TON Believers Fund has significantly improved TON's tokenomics, bringing clarity, predictability and transparency to the ecosystem.
The Gateway's first Diamond sponsor

The Gateway proudly presents its Diamond sponsor, Orbs. Orbs is a L3 public blockchain infrastructure project powered by PoS, pioneering on-chain innovation since 2017.

Orbs is a separate execution layer between L1/L2 solutions and the application layer, as part of a tiered blockchain stack, enhancing the capabilities of smart contracts and powering protocols.

Tal Kol, CTO of Orbs and TON Ambassador, will share insights at the Gateway. He has significantly contributed to the ecosystem by developing TON Vote, TON Access, and TON Verifier.

TON Access
This decentralized RPC API provider allows any dApp user unrestricted access to the chain. TON Access offers developers a seamless integration experience, enabling them to embed it into their web clients in just five minutes.

TON Vote
TON Vote emerges as the ecosystem's leading no-code governance tool. It serves as a space where TON Foundation, alongside major token and NFT communities, can conduct decentralized votes on proposals.

TON Contract Verifier
The TON Contract Verifier is dedicated to publishing the source code of FunC and Tact smart contracts. It leverages Orbs technology to ensure decentralized source code verification.

On the EVM side, Orbs is trailblazing DEX innovation with dLIMIT, dTWAP, and Liquidity Hub.

Mantle forms strategic alliance with TON Foundation

TON Foundation and Mantle Network announced a strategic alliance with a focus on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Layer 2 solutions.

This collaboration aims to expand the potential of both ecosystems and ensure a smooth interaction between them. Mantle's role as a strategic EVM Layer 2 partner opens avenues for EVM-based projects to effortlessly bridge to TON.

The @community_bot will serve as both an educational and distribution platform. It will connect users in Mantle Network’s Telegram channels and Mantle Ecosystem project channels to TON's thriving community in Telegram.

Another important milestone is the bridging of Mantle Network's native token, $MNT, to TON. This development enhances access and interoperability for users in both ecosystems. Additionally, a wrapped version of $MNT, $jMNT, is now available for trading and liquidity provisions on STON.fi, a cross-chain DEX.
